Tucker Carlson: Americans have been trained to hate Putin, and will suffer because of it

“I respect him for his patriotism to the country of his birth.”

I’d judge him based on the quality of life Russia’s citizens have.

And also the actions his government is taking toward the Russians.

I don’t know much about Russia or Putin.

I learn bits and pieces as I take in the news.

For all his faults, at least Putin views the sexual pervert threat in the correct light. Churches with orthodox theology in Russia are now flourishing thanks to a prohibition on the Gaystapo proseletyzing in the Public Square. We would do well to learn from him in this regard.

[circlecity]

As is the President of Ukraine.

I learn bits and pieces as I take in the news.

Go to youtube, there on many videos on life in Russia. It's not that different then our own. Then look-up the Russian structure of government, it's not that different from our own.

[Arcadian Empire]

Don’t look at the people destroying America and everything that America ever stood for.

Don’t look at them.

Instead, look at Russia.

Looking at Russia will give the people destroying America and everything that America ever stood for more time to accomplish their goal, and that it what they want.

[Hattie]

One thing about Putin – he doesn’t have open borders with illegals and terrorists coming across his border. Our resident in Washington DC allows anyone in and makes Americans pay for them.

[Arcadian Empire]

Russians are not evil.

Russian culture includes a lot of beauty.

Russia has historically had an authoritarian government that has disrespected the natural rights of the people.

At the moment, unfortunately, so do Western countries.

[Arcadian Empire]

You appear to be basing that characterization of Tucker Carlson solely on your antipathy towards Russians.

[Lisbon1940]

He is what he is, much like Popeye.

[JoSixChip]

Emphasis on "At the moment, unfortunately, so do Western countries."

[volunbeer]

Tucker is simply “Tucker”. He does not ask that anyone blindly follows his thoughts on any subject. He often presents an alternative view to what we get in 95% of the MSM and asks that people make up their own minds.

He does provide his opinion but it means nothing more than mine or yours - he allows people to see an alternative view and make up their own mind.

I usually agree with him but he is one of the most important media voices we have right now. In some respects he is the “Rand Paul” of media.

Now, the main thing to know about Ukraine for our purposes is that its leaders once sent millions of dollars to Joe Biden's family. Not surprisingly, Ukraine is now one of Biden's favorite countries.

Slimy Hunter Biden took money from everyone, Ukraine, Russia and China. To be accurate though, he was hired in Ukraine by Mykola Zlochevsky, owner of Burisma, who is a pro-Russian politician.

[ßuddaßudd]

the dims are against russia because they dont tolerate the lgbtq’s and other woke ideas ..

[nonliberal]

And that concerns the US how?

[CatOwner]

If the net result is having Hunter sliced open from head to toe, I would be fine with that.

[Whatever Works]

Uh, I’m an American and I don’t hate Putin.

[Sans-Culotte]

There are a lot of bad actors in the world. IMO, the ChiComs are a far greater threat to our country and the world than Vlad and his Russkies. And yet we coddle China and kiss their asses because they own us and our leaders (except Trump).

Ditto.

[fhayek]

I don’t hate Russia either. Putin has his problems, and talk about Ukraine cozying up to the west or joining NATO can do nothing but aggravate Russia. Why do we need to expand NATO anyway? All that would do is extend our already overextended resources, as well as enrage Russia. I advocate protecting our borders first. But clearly that makes me racist or something.

[BenLurkin]

Who said it did?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yep the American public is totally mind farmed about Russia and most everything.
